Jin Saotome, a man who moulds toys like Demi Moore fondles clay, has taken a cheap, awful Fisher Price toy and turned it into something about a million times cooler.

What began as an Imaginext Robot Police Tank has, through modifications and a paintjob, become the iconic tank from the Metal Slug series, complete with new figures and explosion effects.

Marco and Tarma were cannibalised from GI Joe figures, while the tank was competed using apoxie sculpt.
